Help / Question: Self-hosting count.js #776

Open vivekragunathan opened 2 weeks ago

vivekragunathan commented 2 weeks ago

I am trying to self-host count.js based on this documentation: https://rms.goatcounter.com/help/countjs-host

... where it says

To host count.js somewhere else just copy it from https://gc.zgo.at/count.js and adjust the URL in data-goatcounter.

If i use the self-hosted (relative url) for the data-goatcounter, what would the src be in

<script data-goatcounter="/scripts/count.js"
          src="????"></script>

The src attribute is just the standard attribute that specifies the URL of the script to load, so you'd put the location of your copy of count.js there. The data-goatcounter attribute is where Goatcounter should send the pageview data.

Along the same lines... is there support for self-hosting at something other than the root of a web host, i.e. at https://my.host.com/goatcounter/...? I have an nginx setup and I'm reverse-proxying the traffic to the goatcounter listener (which was passed -tls proxy on the command line) with some rewrites and I can see the requests for the counter flowing in debug mode. However, there are certain site assets (e.g. /pikaday.css) that get served up with an absolute URL by the server binary. Can that behavior be modified or configurable?

Feels like there's a possible way to address this in serve.go, where domainStatic gets set... if that could safely have a URL and not just a hostname, that could open up the variable that gets expanded as {{.Static}} when those other links get generated?!

There is -base-path introduced in https://github.com/arp242/goatcounter/commit/f41329929417eb05444d94dd05f59bed07079ee3 which doesn't seem to be part of a released version yet.
